Regarding the brown-shirting going on at town hall meetings

I've spent my day doing three things:

1. Turning in resumés
2. Setting up my apartment
3. Watching in various media forms mislead, old people going batshit at town hall meetings


It's amazing how easily mob mentality ensues when retired white people are pushed into fear and misinformation.

In fact, the last time I saw a meeting like that go into a fear-mongering mob was IN HIGH SCHOOL at an ASB meeting about whether or not to allow a gay-straight alliance club to establish itself at said high school.

I think maybe I just get so annoyed by shit like this because

A. the health care reforms would in many areas be a good perpetuation of conservatism, but the fact is the actual healthcare plan would appeal to both sides of the fence.

B. the reason people are being thrown into a tissy is the Republican party is in a serious fear of vanishing faster than the Populists that they're willing to gain popularity under the sacrifice of general welfare and misguidance of it's own followers.

Well fucking done.
